?:abstract
  • IRW (Ile-Arg-Trp) was identified as an inhibitor of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) from egg white protein ovotransferrin through an integrated in silico digestion and quantitative structure and activity relationship prediction in 2011. Oral administration of IRW to spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) can significantly reduce blood pressure, via upregulation of ACE2, but not through the inhibition of ACE. ACE2 converts Ang II into Ang (1-7), thus lowering blood pressure via Mas receptor (MasR); coinfusion of Mas receptor antagonist A779 and IRW in SHRs abolished blood pressure-lowering effect of IRW, supporting a key role of ACE2/Ang (1-7)/MasR axis. Our ongoing study further established new roles of IRW as an antioxidant, an anti-inflammatory agent, an insulin sensitizer, and a bone cell anabolic. Future studies are warranted to understand the unique structure features of this peptide, its mechanisms of action at various targets, its bioavailability and metabolism, and its possible roles toward COVID-19.
